Why does Wedges X-Wing die so easily?

Finally got the U-Wing and crew and am trying to up the Home One stars for the chimaera event and just general butt kicking, but no matter what, Wedges X-Wing continues to be killed by one or two hits from enemy attacks. I just upgraded his gear to tier VIII and it seemed to make no difference.

This is one of the best star fighter pilots of all time. Why is Biggs Darklighter stronger then him? Wedges ship should have sort of a medium toughness to it despite not being a tank.

Why isn’t the Antilles Maneuver part of his special abilities that might give him some sort of evasion, etc.?

I’m about to make it a 6-Star ship so we’ll see if that helps but any advice on how to make Wedges XWing not immediately die in battle please let me know. Thanks.

    I think it is some kind of joke from the devs, Wedge who is a great pilot and survived the battles is squishy and dies fast while Biggs who dies really fast killed by Vader becomes some kind of supertank thanks his murderer's basic attack.

    Biggs is quickly becoming horrible... yeah on new shards he can be godlike but he is a 3 hit wonder on older shards CS HT SF all possibly more preferable

    This is so accurate it hurts :D So its basically Stockholm syndrome, Biggs has fallen for his murderer

    Well, it doesn’t help that his gear is only at tier 8. Pilots really need to have G10+ before they start being OK. But yeah, wedge is pretty terrible even with good gear. He used to be good on offense, but with ships 2.0 he got nerfed pretty hard. Focus on Phoenix/Biggs for you LS ships, they’re a lot better and will help more for the challenges. I got ackbar to 6* before 2.0, so not sure if it’s still accurate with the big buff the enemies got, but I seem to remembering Ashoka being pretty useful for knocking out all the enemies’ buffs. Oh, and a LOT of rng...
